Feeling blue, writing and posting this in case it helps me feel better?

September 20th, 2018

Hi there, I hope this is an okay place to write this?

I posted to a different website about moving out soon, and asked how I could cope with missing everything, but basically, I didn't get the support or help that I needed. It didn't get much attention, but the majority of responses were telling me to decide if moving out was really worth it, and that I should probably wait so I can save money, despite me saying that I felt like I needed to move out for my own safety. I'm sure they meant well and just wanted what was best, but it's left me feeling pretty dull. There were a few responses that validated my feelings and made me feel a bit better, but I still feel like I got shot down, kind of. And I didn't get the advice I wanted.

I wish the majority of responses were more "You're doing what's best for you and that's great, don't worry about money or missing home and take care of yourself" instead of, "I stayed home and saved money, you should decide if moving out is really worth it." I feel like they didn't see that I was doing this for my safety and instead thought I was moving out because everyone else was doing it. I feel invalidated, you know? I know they probably know better and are just trying to make sure I don't make a huge mistake, but instead of support I feel like I got a lot of unwanted criticism.

I think writing this out and posting this might help, if that's okay. Any comments would be appreciated, but aren't necessary. Thank you ^^
